I will try to set the knee point exactly as you said. Thank you very much.

Dear Chris, Thank you very much for the detailed explanation. Now I finally understand what the knee point does. It functions like a kind of virtual increase of the dynamic range. I will definitely set the knee point to 85 IRE and see the results. Thank you also for explanation regarding the...

Do you have any recommendation for a knee point? Or would you recommend auto knee function? Knee point can be set from 80% to 100% in my JVC camera. The default value is 100%. I also dont understand the white clip setting. It can be set to 100% or 108%. The default value is 108%. Would you...

Thank you for your suggestion. Really good idea, thank you

I couldn't find a "paint menu" in my JVC camera, but based on Sony camera manuals, I believe it is similar to the JVC "camera operation menu". This menu includes settings for Master Black, Detail, Detail Frequency, White Clip, Knee Point, Color Matrix, Gamma, Flare, and more. I will try to learn...

Thank you again for the detailed description of the exposure method. I have already conducted a few tests and discovered that for my JVC GY 5100E, the best zebra setting for reflective bright whites is 85 IRE. I found that the majority of randomly tested whites (cheap Chinese white balance card...

Hello everyone, For indoor (studio) shooting, I will definitely use a white reflective card and set my camera zebra to around 85-90, as Mr. Jensen suggested. This will ensure that white in the region of my object (human face) will appear white on the camera. However, will this method also...

I have these two cameras and they work very well for my needs and are extremely fun to use. Me and my family and friends like to view my footage on a CRT studio monitor. I would rather not to buy any additional equipment unless it is necessary. And with Canon XL1 I am shooting outside on trips...

Thank you for your suggestion. I am afraid that modern high resolution reference monitors are not appropriate for old SD video. I don't like how these modern high resolution monitors presents the SD. It just does not look right. SD video looks so good to me on old CRT studio monitors, but I hate...

I tried to lower the gamma setting, but it did not help

Maybe I could modify my camera Gamma setting in order to get the exposure I want when the higlights of the face are just below 70 IRE. I will try this, I am not sure if I will not just get more contrast image, but still overexposed. However on my Canon XL1 which I use a lot the Zebra is at fixed...

I have zebra set at 70-80 and currently I expose down until all of the zebra disappears from the face and even from the higlights of the face, but I still found the face to be exposed too hot. For my taste, I would need the zebra in the range of around 55 to 65. My main frustration is that the...

Hello, I read on this forum, that some of you here do not use zebras, false colors, grey cards, internal / external light meters or any other tools for proper video exposure (especially exposure of people in interviews or movie characters). Instead, you rely solely on your own eyes and...
